I removed the top of the candle stick (I’ve used it for another project that I’ll post soon!) and also removed the feet of the cheese dome and puttied up the holes with wood filler.

Then I used Gorilla Glue to attach the base of the candle stick to the bottom of the cheese dome base. I used painters tape to hold it all together while it dried.

I glued this project together with Gorilla Glue.

Once it was all dry I spray painted it with ORB paint. It didn’t look very good though and didn’t seem to cover very well. There were lighter patches all over.

So I spray painted it again with gloss black paint. That seemed to coat better and look more even. Once the black was dry I then used the ORB again on top of the black as more of a top layer. I LOVE the metallic shimmer from the ORB.

Seriously. Not to brag, but can you even believe how amazing this is??

It wasn’t even difficult or hard to make. All in all I spent $4 on the cheese dome, $2 on the candle stick, and a few bucks on spray paint that I’ve used for several projects.

The thing is, anyone can do this. For serious. Anyone can do it. If you can spray paint evenly and glue things together then you can do this. All you need to do is find some cool stuff at goodwill and use a little bit of imagination. Go out and make one of your own!! You can do it! And if you need any help at all, please don’t hesitate to email me.

What a great combination! This really turned out cute. A great idea to put the two things together like this! And I like the idea of combining the two spray paints. Next time I want to paint something ORB, I might do a base coat with cheap black spray paint–it’ll make the ORB go further!

LOVE THIS! I bought a cheese dome thingie without the base several years back but never liked the way it looked. TOTALLY trying out your idea some time soon so I can get some use out of it. thanks for the inspiration!

I have been loving finding the cheese domes at the thrift stores lately! Granted, sometime I just find the dome which is fine but, like you, I really like to find the base as well.
Yours turned out wonderful!

Hi! Love your blog, especially the header design/font! You’re very creative. I, too, adore the cloche you designed! I have purchased 2 of these cheese board w/glass domes at Goodwill in the past months, but haven’t done anything with them yet. You’ve inspired me to get back to that project! Come see me sometime at Scene of the Grime! 😎

Wonderful! I have a small cheese dome {it has the marble base} that we never use. I’d love to remake it into something like this that I would use. I’ll be keeping my eyes open at the thrift store and Good Will this weekend for pieces I can use for this. Great idea!

LOVE this! Im going to link it over to my blog if you dont mind b/c I recently bought the exact same cheese dome($2.99) and Ive been debating on what step to take next with it. Now I know:) This looks great and Im loving your blog.

And I just bought a cheese ball thing AT the goodwill the other day. I haven;t even painted it yet.. I think I need to find a candle holder first… thanks for the tutorial. Did I mention I love your cloche? 🙂

wow i love how this turned out!!! the punch of green is lovely. i love green…and have a bowl of apples like that in our dining room!! sometimes my nephews try to eat them though haha. maybe i should put them in a covered spot like you hehe.

I’m not going to lie. I usually don’t like cloches. They make me think of old lady victorian decor but this is actually cool. I’m liking the fruit popped against that black. Nicely done.

Hi Allison! Great idea. I got recently a cheese dome just like that one at the Goodwill too. I would love to gave it a makeover just like yours. I’m kind of new at re-doing things so I’m lost with the paint “ORB” that you referred to. Can you help me with the paint you used because I LOVE it! thanks for sharing! 😀

She is very purdy! I have been picking up these same type pieces at GW the past couple of weeks and love using them as cloches. And you even found a bag of green apples at GW, I am trying not to be jealous. lol

You have a great eye for putting things together! It looks fabulous! Plus, you did it right by patching the holes. I’m afraid I would have cheated on that step. Thanks for linking up! Please come again.

i just LOVE this! I have always. So for months I’ve been scouring for a cheese dome.. seriously, can’t find one anywhere! And last week I FINALLY did for $4 at goodwill……… but I have a dilemma. It’s a really fancy schmancy gray marble one. Can I really paint over that? lol But I suppose I may never find another 😉

I made this following your tute and it is perfect! I found the dome at the thrift store for $4 and a pottery barn candlestick holder at Goodwill for $4 (more than I wanted to spend, but it was perfect). Luckily the feet on my cheese dome were screwed it, so I didn’t have to use filler like you did…I only unscrewed and then got to attach and paint. Thanks so much for this wonderful idea!!!!

I want one just like it! I LOVE IT!!! I am determined to visit Goodwill & find the perfect pieces for my new project. Although I need to find one big enough to hold the fresh loaf of bread I make each week. 🙂
